I don't think it is healthy to suggest that RH will be releasing their
own custom modifications to the PostgreSQL core server, unless you know
something we don't. :-)

All indications I have heard are that they will be submitting patches
just like everyone else, and will be working on admin tools too. Maybe
that is what you were referring to about a separate license.
